Create photorealistic renders of your design with Render Studio

Step by step

1. 1

   Finish the room in the editor

   Render Studio photographs the room exactly as you designed it, so get the plan right first: place the furniture at its real sizes, and set your wall colors, flooring, cabinets, and countertops in Materials. The render restyles what is already there — the more complete the room, the better the result.

   

2. 2

   Open Export → Photorealistic 3D Renders

   Click Export / Print / Share at the top of the editor (on a phone, Share / Export) and choose Photorealistic 3D Renders. Render Studio opens beside a 3D view of your plan. The first time, a short Before you start card explains credits and how your photo is processed — accept it once and it won't appear again. Your credit balance is always shown at the top of the panel, with + Add to buy more.

   

3. 3

   Tap a room to walk into it

   You start above your home in a dollhouse view. Every room has a glowing marker with its name — tap the marker of the room you want to photograph and the camera drops you inside it at eye level. You can switch rooms at any time with the pin button next to the photo-shape options.

   

4. 4

   Compose the shot

   Now frame the photo. The bright rectangle in the 3D view is the viewfinder — exactly what will be captured. Photo shape — choose Landscape (presentations, laptops), Portrait (phones, stories), or Square (social posts) first, because it changes the viewfinder. Move around — walk to a new spot: on a computer drag to look and use W A S D to move; on a phone drag to look and use the on-screen joystick. Corners and doorways usually make the best vantage points. Then fine-tune with the four camera sliders: Camera height (30–108 in, starts at 66 in) — how high the lens sits off the floor. 66 in is a standing adult's eye level and looks natural for most rooms. Drop it to 40–48 in for a seated view that makes sofas and beds feel inviting; raise it to 75–90 in to see over a kitchen island or show more of the floor and countertops. Camera angle (down / up, −80° to +80°) — tilts the lens. Keep it at or near 0° for the classic architectural look with straight vertical walls. Tilt down a little (−5° to −15°) to show countertops, rugs, and flooring; tilt up to feature a vaulted ceiling, beams, a skylight, or pendant lights. Large tilts make walls lean, which the render will copy. Look direction (left / right, −90° to +90°) — swings the view sideways without moving your feet. Use it to center the window, line up a focal wall, or nudge a fridge out of the edge of the frame. Field of view (40°–120°, starts at 90°) — how wide the lens is. 90° fits most of a room, like a real-estate photo. Go wider (100°–120°) for small spaces such as bathrooms, accepting some stretching at the edges. Go narrower (50°–70°) for a natural, magazine-style shot of one area — a reading nook, a vanity, a range wall.

   Take the photo, then choose the look

   When the viewfinder shows what you want, tap Take photo. Take as many as you like — they're kept under Your photos. Tap a photo to open it, then choose: Style — one of 16 curated looks: Minimalist, Scandinavian, Modern, Mid-century modern, Industrial, Bohemian, Modern farmhouse, Japandi, Coastal, Traditional, Transitional, Art deco, Rustic, Mediterranean, Maximalist, or Wabi-sabi. Each sets the palette, materials, furniture character, textiles, and decor. Lighting — Match style (auto) lets the style decide, or pick Bright daylight, Warm evening, Golden hour, Soft ambient, Cozy lamp-lit, or Dramatic. Window view — Keep as-is, or put a Backyard garden, Front yard, City skyline, Open sky, Mountains, or an Ocean view outside your windows. Style description — this is the exact text sent with your photo. Tap Edit to write your own, up to 1,000 characters ("walnut cabinets, honed white quartz, brass hardware, morning sun"); tap Reset to go back to the preset. Changing Style, Lighting, or Window view afterwards replaces a custom description — you'll get a chance to Undo.

   Generate your render

   Tap Generate 1 render. In about 15 seconds the finished picture appears under Your renders, and one credit is used. If a render fails, its credit comes back automatically. Want to compare directions? Keep the same photo and generate again in another style — each render is saved under that photo.

   

7. 7

   Zoom in, download, or delete

   Tap any render to open it full screen. Pinch (phone) or scroll (computer) to zoom, drag to pan around, and double-tap or double-click to jump in and out. Use the download button to save it — on iPhone, iPad, and Android it goes straight to your photos — or the trash button to delete it. Deleting a photo also deletes the renders made from it.

   

8. 8

   Render photos from your other designs — without leaving this one

   Your photos shows the photos taken in the design you have open. Tick Include photos from other floor plans to see every photo you've taken across all your designs, each with a count of how many renders it already has. Tap any of them to pick a style and generate a render right here — handy when a client calls about last month's kitchen while you're working on a new plan. Untick the box to go back to just this design.

   Add AI credits when you need them

   Your balance is always at the top of Render Studio. Tap + Add to open Add AI Credits: How credits are used — one credit creates one photorealistic render. A credit is used only when a render finishes; if one fails, its credit is returned automatically. Every account starts with 5 free credits. They never expire — there is no monthly reset and no deadline. Buy a pack today and use it next week or next year. They work everywhere — credits belong to your account, not a device. A pack bought on iPhone, iPad, Android, or the web works on every device you sign in to. One-time packs, no subscription — the button shows the pack size and its price in your currency. On iPhone and iPad you pay through the App Store, on Android through Google Play, and on the web through secure Stripe checkout. Nothing renews.
